Managing Product Data was heavily discussed last night at a well-attended SEMATown Hall Meeting here in Miami.During this meeting the SEMA Leadership polled the audience on their most pressing issues in their business.While the number one issue was finding new and top talent.

26% Of Attendees Agreed That Managing Product Data Was A Major Issue

During the town hall it was discussed in-depth the importance of accurate product data from the manufacturer, through the wholesale distributor, down to the jobber, installer, or retailer. This was the second most pressing issue in the businesses of the attendees, followed by product development.

Ensuring accurate product data at all levels allows for more sales of products – a proven fact.Accurate product data also lowers the total overall cost of sale and leads to higher customer satisfaction rate.

Product Data is not limited to just specifications around the parts or assembly schematics.Product Data expands into detailed product descriptions for your websites, accurate make/model data, product pictures, pricing, and so forth.Many businesses today do not realize the cost to their business by not working with accurate product data.

Product Data In A Central Location Is Important

By centralizing product data, manufacturers as well as retailers can ensure that they are using the most up-to-date and accurate information.When companies store information in different locations and in different formats, this can be costly, not only from a time perspective but to the bottom-line as well.

Many companies limp along trying to manage product data in shared folders, spreadsheets, and using their ERP systems.However, with today’s technology it has become very easy to centralize, maintain control, and roll out new products rapidly using Product Information Management (PIM) and E-Catalog tools.The technology available today allows companies to effectively manage SKU proliferation, pricing/margin pressure, and become ACES and PIES compliant.

No matter what level your company is at today or how many SKU’s you manufacture, distribute, or retail, having accurate product data can help your company’s revenue.There are solutions of all levels to help companies maintain, review, and distribute accurate product data.

Miami, Florida (November 13, 2015) – Parts proliferation, often referred to as SKU proliferation, continues to be an ongoing challenge within the Automotive Aftermarket industry as manufacturers strive to provide options to fulfill aftermarket and OEM demand. With approximately 38 million new vehicles on the road since 2013, manufacturers continue to innovate and respond to consumer demand for options to keep their vehicles running well and keep up the appearance of their vehicles to protect the longevity their investment.

One common theme that the annual SEMA and AAPEX trade shows demonstrated was the continued growth of miles driven in 2015 and the projected growth into 2016, which directly correlates to an increase in demand for quality aftermarket parts and options.

To date, traditional supply chain companies have done an excellent job helping companies respond to the physical aspects of growth in shipping volumes and more complex fulfillment processes.

Tony Minock, CEO and Co-Founder of Cellacore stated, “We found the more we can help companies support their supply chain systems, the more efficiently they performed and obviously this efficiency goes straight to the bottom line. By managing the accuracy of the data around new parts and part families it improves the overall supply chain process, the customer experience and revenue potential of a company.”

Minock continued, “Product Desk not only improves supply chain systems, it also improves the management, development, and maintenance of e-commerce sites, traditional print materials, and financial systems. By improving the accuracy and standardization of all of these systems, Product Desk becomes the central location of mission critical product data.”

Software Integration can be very tedious work between two or more systems. If the systems need to introduce custom business logic before transferring information it can add extra layer of complexity. In such case it becomes very hard to monitor how data is flowing between multiple systems, what kind of information is being exchanged, what data one system is sending to another, and what is the status of the integration process. If something goes wrong during the integration process the debugging process becomes very time consuming. This can result into bad customer service and a poor customer experience.

Integration Desk is a unique approach towards software integration and the integrating of data between two or more systems.
